Operator’s Checklist
During Cleaning and Sanitizing
NOTICE! Cleaning and sanitizing schedules
are governed by your federal, state or local regulatory
agencies and must be followed accordingly. Please see
the cleaning section of the manual for the proper
procedure to clean this machine.
The following checkpoints should be stressed during the
cleaning and sanitizing operations:
Important! Cleaning and sanitizing must be performed
every 14 days.
Important! Syrup lines must be sanitized weekly.
Troubleshooting Bacterial Count
 
Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine
regularly, including complete disassembly and
brush-cleaning.
 
Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning.
The brushes are specially designed to reach all
mix passageways.
 
Use the white bristle brush to clean the mix inlet
hole, which extends from the mix hopper down to
the rear of the freezing cylinder.
 
Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly clean the
rear shell bearing at the rear of the freezing
cylinder. Make sure to use a generous amount of
cleaning solution on the brush.
 
Properly prepare the cleaning and sanitizing
solutions. Read and follow the label directions
carefully. Too strong of a solution may damage
the parts, and too weak of a solution will not do an
adequate job of cleaning or sanitizing.
 
Thoroughly clean and sanitize the syrup lines at
least once a week.
 
The temperature of mix in mix hopper and walk-in
cooler should be below 40ºF (4.4ºC).
 
Discard remaining mix from freezer during Closing
Procedures.
Regular Maintenance Checks
 
Rotate scraper blades to allow both sides of the
knife edge to wear evenly. This will contribute to
self-sharpening and help maintain fast, efficient
freezing.
 
Replace scraper blades that are bent, damaged,
or worn down.
 
Before installing beater, make sure scraper blades
are properly attached over the beater pins.
 
Dispose of O-rings and seals if they are worn,
torn, or fit too loosely, and replace with new ones.
 
Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and make
sure it is properly cleaned.
 
Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, clean the
rear shell bearing and the female drive socket of
lubricant and mix deposits.
 
Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in
Machine Setup on page 6-1.
 
On air-cooled machines, check the condenser for
dirt and lint. Dirty condensers will reduce the
efficiency and capacity of the machine.
Condensers and filters should be cleaned
monthly. Remove the rear panel to gain access to
the condenser. Use a soft brush to clean between
the fins of the condenser. Never use screwdrivers
or other metal probes to clean between the fins.
 
On water-cooled machines, check the water lines
for kinks or leaks. Kinks can occur when the
machine is moved back and forth for cleaning or
maintenance. Deteriorated or cracked water lines
should be replaced only by a Taylor service
technician.
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.
